Convert a project.json to a csproj without using Visual Studio

Question

As of preview3 dotnet new produces a csproj, and both dotnet restore and dotnet build fail against a project.json and/or an xproj.

Answer 1

There is a dotnet migrate command.

The dotnet migrate command will migrate a valid Preview 2 project.json based project to a valid Preview 3 csproj project.

We can find detailed help on this command by running dotnet migrate -h (even though dotnet -h does not list the command).
